ok so you know how when u have an html select box, each option has a value and display? like <option value='1'>One</option>
ok so I want the same thing. I want the combobox to display something but onchange submit a value. so for example the combobox would display "One" but when submitted it submits "1". Now this "1" is tied to an attribute of a User Object. each row of my datagrid represents a user object and each user object has a "role_id" attribute. My combobox's dataprovider is a static list of all possible roles and i want the option with the user's "role_id" to be selected. but it cannot display the role_id, but must display the role_label. How do i do this? it probably doesnt make much sense. grrr i hate having to type this out. --- In [email protected], "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Not sure I understand.
